"I do not believe EMs can be successful," Stampfler said. "They abrogate the civic structure of the community for a period of years then return it virtually dismantled for the community to attempt to somehow make a go of it. The program provides no structure for long term recovery, and that is why most communities slide back into trouble, if they experience any relief at all–a vicious cycle. The public act is not sufficient and the state bureaucracy isn't up to a performance offering any significant success, as can be noted from the communities repeating."
